Burrell’s request to sanction Benguer and Smotrich

According to Isna, the request of Josep Borrell, the head of the EU’s foreign policy, needs the approval of all 27 member states of this union, and the chances of joint approval of this request are very low.

The fact that this issue is being discussed raises a new threshold for international sanctions against right-wing figures in the Zionist regime.

According to Haaretz newspaper, there is also the possibility that if the request is not approved by all EU members, some countries may decide to act independently on such sanctions.

Burrell’s request is the official expression of the public appeal he issued two weeks ago after Ben Guerre and Smotrich’s statements about the humanitarian situation in Gaza.

Itamar ben Goyer called for a halt to fuel shipments and aid to the Strip, and Betzleel Smotrich spoke of starving all residents in Gaza.

In response to these statements, Burrell said: “Sanctions should be on the agenda of the European Union.”

In the past year, Borrell has emphasized the extension of EU sanctions against extremist Zionist figures, and this emphasis was not only on their direct actions in violence against Palestinians.

Some in Washington also believe that the United States should impose direct sanctions against the two ministers, but to date, US President Joe Biden has not approved such a move.

John Kirby, the spokesman for the White House National Security Council, who is known as one of the country’s leading officials in support of the Zionist regime, just two weeks ago criticized Smotrich and accused him of endangering the lives of American citizens, after he He opposed the agreement to release the Zionist prisoners.

Kirby said Smotrich was not telling the truth about the deal and should be ashamed of himself for his comments against Biden, who supported Tel Aviv during the 10-month war.

The imposition of sanctions against the senior ministers of the Zionist regime will be unprecedented, but it should be noted that in the current situation, the United States and all European countries do not have any official and business relations with Benguir and Smotrich.
